TALKEETNA INFORMATION

Looking for a town with a flavor of the Northern Exposure television series? Take the turnoff to Talkeetna located in upper Susitna Valley. This historic hamlet serves as a staging area for mountain climbers planning to ascend Mt. McKinley. In addition, it offers visitors outstanding fishing opportunities, flightseeing, jet boat tours, and river rafting. On clear days, the views of Mount McKinley could not be more dramatic. On winter trips, go cross-country skiing, snowmachining, or take a dogsledding trip on the famous Iditarod Trail. If your visit brings you to Talkeetna in July, make sure you stop in to see the famous Moose Dropping Festival.
